My Cat Slinky

He makes himself at home daily as he slinks through the house. He slinks so stealthily, he can sneak up on man, woman and mouse. He almost always slinks to the mailbox and gives the mail man a scare. Dogs in the neighborhood are fearful of him, he has a menacing stare. My wife had to be accepted by Slinky, or we could not have dated. Huge effect on my once non-existence love live, cannot be overrated. I knew right away she was going to work out, when I saw That Slinky sniffed her and then walked away like Big Lah Dee Dah. Doesn’t he like me? She asked me, new girlfriend concerned. She was afraid of the verdict, but I quickly discerned That Slinky was okay with her being included in life. For he did not bite claw, or bring out a butcher knife. So the three of us have made a terrific little home in the woods. We keep Slinky in cat nip, and he gives us all of his goods. He uses his litter, and rarely gives anyone a serious ouch. But we both have learned, that his domain will always be the couch.
